Wellington's own Strangers finished up last weekend with a stunning show at the Garrett street flat.

I know most of you on here will be rather indifferent to this news item, but for those who are interested, Strangers were one of New Zealand's best hardcore acts in recent times and it is sad to see them go. Strangers were closely associated with Action Man Records, a label which was responsible for putting out some classic New Zealand releases and organizing some great tours.

Not only was their music great, but they really broke out of what was going on around them at the time, and came up with a truly original feel and sound.

For those who weren't there, or were but want to recollect the good times, here is a video of their last song/crowd antics.
